The plan is to open the course for students to use in the spring. Davey Warner, outdoor leadership coordinator for student development, said that they will need to hire and train the staff before they can open it.

According to Warner, the course will be located next to the path to the New Village. It will be in an open area behind the baseball field, between the field and the ski trail head.
The low ropes course was the 2008 senior class gift donation. According to the 2008 Senior Class Gift brochure, it was the class’ thought that the course would “serve as a helpful tool in continuing to develop leadership skills and values within the Saint Mary’s community.”
Warner said it will have “an amazing impact” on the community. “It will provide an invaluable experiential education experience to students, faculty and staff through class, clubs and organizations. It will teach people leadership, how to work with others, confidence and much more.”
According to Bob Fisher, director of annual giving for development and alumni relations, after publicizing the senior class gift of a low ropes course, the class raised (in pledges) $12,271 toward the project.
